We report the cloning of cDNAs for rat liver apolipoprotein B (apo B) and the use of the cloned sequences to examine apo B expression at the level of mRNA in rat tissues. Fifteen putative apo B clones were identified by antibody screening of a rat liver cDNA library in the lambda gt11 expression vector. The identity of the clones was confirmed by immunological studies of the fusion protein products. All clones appear to contain sequences found only in apo B PI, the high molecular weight form of rat liver apo B. Blotting studies show that the clones hybridize to a single 20-kilobase liver mRNA species, sufficiently large to encode the entire apo B PI peptide, which is estimated to be 400 kDa in size. Apo B PI mRNA is abundant in liver and present in lower amounts in intestine but is absent in a variety of other tissues examined. This tissue distribution is consistent with that expected from studies on the in vivo synthesis of apo B. One clone, corresponding to a 240-base segment of the apo B PI mRNA, was sequenced and found to exhibit homology with a short region of rat apo E mRNA. Analysis of the secondary structure of the corresponding peptide did not show the preponderance of amphipathic alpha-helical structures characteristic of other apolipoproteins examined thus far.
